I went to Walmart today. They had a specific entrance for everyone to go through. I went under the tape and walked right into the front door. A Walmart employee, an older gentleman, gave me instruction and I retorted. Here is the exchange - as to the best of my memory:
Walmart Employee: Annoyed - "Just walk through the designated entrance, Sir!"
Me: Defiantly - "No!" ( as I walk away).
Walmart Employee: (mumbles something)
Me: Pissed off - "What the fuck did you just say?! You got a problem?!"
Walmart Employee: "No, I was talking to another customer, Sir."
Me: "That's what I fuckin' thought!"
I realized something. I was being an asshole. That man was just doing his job and I swore at him and threatened him. I did my best to be menacing and mean. I left the store without the item I wanted to purchase. I wish I could say that I apologized to him, but I didn't. I walked out a minute later in shame.
It was disrespectful of my elder and an unmanly display of whimsical emotion. I should have conducted myself in a manly, proper and composed fashion. And, displayed my discontent in a more dignified way.
I apologize.

I went to best buy today, and apparently they still won't let anyone in the store even though restaurants have opened back up here and you can go into grocery stores and walmarts and stuff. I was pissed. I had to remind myself not to be an asshole to the cute girl who said I couldn't go in, when she said "Is there anything I can do for you?" I said "Well can you go in and get me my stuff then?" She said "Yes sir what do you need?" and I told her what I wanted and she went and got it and came back and asked if that was the right product and I gave her my card and she went back in and rang it up and brought it all back with the reciept. That was nice of her. I was still pissed though.

I certainly was at that moment. The weird thing is that...that's really unlike me. Other than today, I never do anything like that. I was ashamed of myself with good reason. But, I'm curious as to why I snapped at him. The fault is all mine, but I want to know why and how to fix it.

Go back and apologize to him, I'm sure he'll be pleasantly surprised.

Figure it out because what you did was really fucked up and so was walking out without apologizing
